I learned how to do my 1st tubular cast-on, and this will also be my 1st cables!! Yea! So far, I am about 3 inches into the bottom back. But, we'll see!

I've never been a perfectionist. I prefer to just enjoy the knitting hobby as long as the mistakes will not be noticeable. I am, however, quite capable of ripping back when required. Good for you!

I've stalled on a bag I'm making, just because I dropped one of the 142 stitches somewhere along the way, and the ridiculous thing is that it's a *felted* bag and not. one. single. person will know the difference if I just make up the extra stitch now. Sigh. You've taught me, I'm going to JKTI and do a K1FB and soldier on. Phew. Feel much better now.

I'm intrigued as to why you just can't use a little row counter? Or am I missing something? I love that close up photo of the cabling...

Jeez, I must be glacial. I am knitting the CPH when I finish my current sweater. Thanks for pointing out the Ravelry errata - I finally got my invite last week. You're a slow knitter??

It makes for s.l.o.w. knitting. Thank you for the update, and for inspiring me to relax about something that is supposed to be calming- I haven't yet been able to let go of even small mistakes.
